Brief Reflections on 6-8 Nov Activities
7:40 PM


The past few days' activities allowed me to see a different side of each of you. Through the debates, discussion and the presentation of each of your photo essays and artefacts, I begin to see that each one of you have so much potential within you. I was pleasantly surprised and am very pleased to see how the activites generated so much discussion, debate and thought. The activives make me realised that it is important to listen to each and every perspective and be open minded to them. I am reminded of how one student once told me "adults must know that they can learn from youths too". How apt. I have learnt much from all of you. To be able to make a stand and opinion and to respect each other's perspective. Your discussion showed me that it is alright to be different and have a different perspective.

During lunch today i watched your faces as you guys eat and felt that there was an atmosphere of satisfaction and of pride. The food was rather dry yet everyone found one way or another to finish the food and most importantly no one complained. Perhaps because we know how difficult the process have been that to complain was just simply inappropriate. I am very proud of you all. At the same time it assured me that you are a group that can go through the "hardship" together, grit your teeth and survive. Honestly, just a week ago I was really worried about the trip. Today's lunch encouraged me that even though the 2 weeks in Yunnan seems somewhat daunting, we will grit our teeth and go through it together without complains. After the 3 days activities i have more excitment then worry. =)
